Abstract:

Cracks in civil structures can result in premature failure due to material degradation and can result in both financial loss and environmental consequences. This thesis reports an effective technique using Acoustic Emission (AE) technique to assess the severity of the crack propagation in steel structures. The outcome of this work confirms that combination of AE parametric analysis and signal processing techniques can be used to evaluate crack propagation under different loading configurations. The technique has potential application to assess and monitor the condition of civil structures.

Abstract:

Crack propagation and branching are modeled using nonlocal peridynamic theory. One major advantage of this nonlocal theory based analysis tool is the unifying approach towards material behavior modeling- irrespective of whether the crack is formed in the material or not. No separate damage law is needed for crack initiation and propagation. This theory overcomes the weaknesses of existing continuum mechanics based numerical tools (e.g. FEM, XFEM etc.) for identifying fracture modes and does not require any simplifying assumptions. Cracks grow autonomously and not necessarily along a prescribed

Abstract:

Cracks often exist in structural members that are exposed to repeated loading, which will certainly lower the structural integrity. A crack on a structural member introduces a local flexibility which is a function of the crack depth and location. This may cause nonlinear dynamic response of the structure. In this thesis, a new method is suggested to detect and locate a crack in a structural component. The method is based on the fact that nonlinear response of a structure with a crack will be a function of the crack location and crack magnitude. The method suggested is the extension of a recent

Abstract:

The use of changes in vibration propelties for damage detection of civil infrastructure has been a subject of investigation for many years. However, the implementation of vibration-based techniques in reinforced concrete structures is extremely limited, due principally to the absence of suitable crack models.

A load-enhanced methodology has been proposed to enable the in situ detection, localization, and characterization of damage in metallic plate-like structures using Lamb waves. A baseline-free load-differential method using the delay-and-sum imaging algorithm is proposed for defect detection and localization. The term “load-differential” refers to the comparison of recorded ultrasonic signals at various levels of stress. Defect characterization is achieved by incorporating expected scattering information of guided waves interacting with defects into the minimum variance imaging algorithm, and a

Foreign Object Damage (FOD) is one of the main life limiting factors for aeroengine fan blades. The FOD impacts during takeoff and landing cause severe damage to aerofoils, resulting in reduced air safety and life time with an estimated annual cost of $4 billion for the aeroengine industry. Advanced surface treatments, such as Laser Shock Peening (LSP) have significantly improved the fatigue strength and crack growth resistance of critical components under FOD.

This thesis presents an extended cohesive damage model (ECDM) for simulating crack propagation in fibre reinforced composites. By embedding the cohesive zone model (CZM) into the eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM)and eliminating the enriched degree of freedoms (DoFs), the ECDM defines the cohesive crack path in an implicit way in equilibrium equations and enables the local enrichments of approximation spaces without additional DoFs. The contribution from additional DoFs can be accounted via the DoFs elimination,which allows discontinuities to exist within a finite element rather than the el

Structural health monitoring systems have a great potential for cost saving and safety improvement in different types of structures. One of the most important tasks of these systems is to identify damage at an early stage of its development. A variety of methods may be used to identify, locate, or quantify the extent of damage or fault in a structural or mechanical component. However, the preferable method is the one which maximises the probability of detecting the flaw, while also considering feasibility of in-situ testing, ease of use and economic factors.

The present work focuses on the formulation of a Continuum Damage Mechanics model for nonlinear analysis of masonry structural elements. The material is studied at the macro-level, i.e. it is modelled as a homogeneous orthotropic continuum. The orthotropic behaviour is simulated by means of an original methodology, which is based on nonlinear damage constitutive laws and on the concept of mapped tensors from the anisotropic real space to the isotropic fictitious one. It is based on establishing a one-to-one mapping relationship between the behaviour of an anisotropic real material and that of

Abstract:

The integrity of nearly all engineering structures are threatened by the presence of cracks. Structural failure occurs if a crack larger than a critical size exists. Although most well designed structures initially contain no critical cracks, subcritical cracks can grow to failure under fatigue loading, called fatigue crack growth (FCG). Because it is impossible or impractical to prevent subcritical crack growth in most applications, a damage tolerant design philosophy was developed for crack sensitive structures. Design engineers have taken advantage of the FCG threshold concept to design

This thesis studies the problem of the crack opening of the interface between non-structural masonry wall and structural parts under a light earthquake with a 2D dynamic model. To study this problem a micro model for the interface and a macro model for the elements it is created. Where for the interface a particular constitutive law is studied: el

Abstract:

Foreign object damage (FOD) refers to the damage that generally takes place in aero engine fans and compressor blades, due to the ingestion of hard particles/debris during aeroplane take-off, taxiing, or landing. Such damage can reduce the fatigue life expectancy of the turbine engine components by 50%. Residual stresses and small microcracks induced by the high speed FOD impacts are two root causes that result in premature failure of these components. One way to mitigate the FOD related fatigue failure is to induce deep compressive residual stress into the surface. Among the available techniq

Abstract:

This thesis presents a new modeling framework and application methodology for the study of aircraft structures. The framework provides a ‘cradle-to-grave’ approach to structural analysis of a component, where structural integrity encompasses all phases of its lifespan. The methodology examines the holistic structural design of aircraft components by integrating fatigue and damage tolerance methodologies. It accomplishes this by marrying the load inputs from a fatigue analysis for new design, into a risk analysis for an existing design. The risk analysis incorporates the variability found from

Abstract:

Over the last decades, numerous techniques have been proposed worldwide to assess the actual damage of critical concrete infrastructure. A method that has progressively been used in North America is a novel microscopic tool, the Damage Rating Index (DRI). This semi-quantitative petrographic tool was developed to reliably appraise both the nature and degree of damage in concrete affected by alkali-silica reaction (ASR), which may threaten the serviceability and the durability of concrete infrastructure around the world. Performing the DRI consists of counting numerous distress features (i.e. cl

Abstract:

Damage identification is an important topic in structural assessment and structural health monitoring (SHM). Vibration-based identification techniques use modal data to identify the existence, location and severity of possible damages in structures, often via a numerical model updating procedure. Among other factors influencing the practicality and reliability of a damage identification approach, two are of primary interest to this study. The first one concerns the amount and quality of modal data that can be used as ‘response’ data for the model updating. It is generally recognised that natur
